View down Elder Road
With a line of fine old gnarled trees growing in a variety of directions.
After the traffic lights the road becomes Norwood High Street.
In the distance are the towers of St Luke's church and the former fire station.

Waring Street
A short cul-de-sac off Norwood High Street with nothing much except a couple of industrial buildings - Waring House, and Zephyr House beyond.
Off to the left is an even shorter cul-de-sac, Dunkirk Street, which has virtually nothing except three houses opposite Waring House. The map suggests it may originally have continued north until it met Pilgrim Hill before being curtailed by the site now occupied by builders' merchants, Travis Perkins.

Industrial area near West Norwood Station, from the train
This area of builders' supply yards, light industry and mechanics' shops lies in a dip just to the east of (and parallel to) Norwood High Street, running south from the railway. The dip probably represents the old course of the Effra, one of London's lost rivers.

Norwood High Street (1)
A tatty stretch on the east side running north from Windsor Grove (far right). The modest mid-Victorian two-storey houses would probably scrub up reasonably well, but sit far back behind a ragbag of projecting shops, several of which are currently empty. The corner site is empty, save for two rusting Volkswagens.

Large items of rubbish, SE27
In Windsor Grove. Mattresses are not uncommon, but Coca-Cola dispensers?

Breaker's yard, Windsor Grove
Sitting pretty atop West Norwood Car Breakers is an old mini (?)
On the left is a Royal Mail Delivery Office which looks very 1960s.
A train runs behind the trees towards West Norwood and beyond that are houses on Auckland Hill.

Ghost sign, Norwood High Street
A palimpsestic ghost sign? I think Kay's Motors is discernible, with at least one other later incumbent less so. The current ones, Alton Motors, may have painted over some of the original sign.
